Instructions on how to run localstack as a service

[sondrelg]

Hi!

Thanks for creating an maintaining this!

When setting up localstack, the action spends around 60 seconds on setup. This seems excessive, and most of the time seems to go to:

• installing python dependencies
• pulling a docker image

but docker actions supports running docker images as services directly. Is this possible? If so, wouldn't that be preferrable?

Hi @sondrelg,

thanks for suggesting! In #49 some hints of speeding up the process have been outlined already.

In general this could be a future improvement (also: feel free to contribute 🙂), though it will get a bit tricky when using resources that expose additional ports, e.g. database services etc.
